Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Control Suite with Fresh Q2’12 SP and Q3’12 Roadmap
It’s been a newsworthy week for Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX customers. We managed to publish the official Q3 2012 roadmap (hope you find what you need there) and pushed out a fresh Q2 2012 Service Pack. And what a service pack! It’s not an ordinary maintenance release, because we shipped two long-awaited controls with it – PivotGrid (CTP) and AutoCompleteBox. :-) RadPivotGrid for ASP.NET AJAX is now available as a CTP. Still, the control has all the basic features, such as paging, sorting, drag-and-drop fields, scrolling (vertical and horizontal), etc. You can bind the component using declarative DataSource controls or programmatically bind the... -

Consuming RadControls for Metro/XAML from C++
Two weeks ago we released a public BETA of the world’s first commercial library for building Windows 8 Metro applications – Telerik RadControls for Metro. So far we have gathered lots of positive feedback as well as some specific questions regarding our XAML components. Such an interesting question is whether our controls can be used in a C++ application. Prior to WinRT (Windows Runtime), the XAML platform was available to managed developers only and we, at Telerik, have solid technical background with C# and .NET. That’s why we have built our Metro XAML components using C# and the .NET runtime. We performed... -

Control Implicit Styles or “Where is My ComboBox.xaml” of RadControls for Silverlight and WPF
It is gone… Merged in Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml. But you can still extract it, just read on. A while back ago we have released the styles for all our controls and themes of the RadControls for Silverlight and WPF suites as ResourceDictionary xaml files containing implicit styles. Currently they could be merged in the App.xaml files of your application and would apply globally. Of course there is more information available in the help sections: Implicit styles Silverlight Implicit styles WPF Some of the benefits are that the styles are no longer hidden in a dll’s resources but rather exposed in your application. And so it is easier to re-style some of the controls or... -

Just Decompile, Master the Assembly with JustDecompile Plugins
The number one request currently on the JustDecompile UserVoice is to “add an API for plugins,” and we take user demands seriously! If you have the new version of JustDecompile, you may have noticed a rather interesting main menu item (if you need to update, check out the brand new Telerik Control Panel). Introducing Plugins You may find that your menu only has the Plugins Manager, which means you need to install a plugin! You can do this by going to the Plugins Manager. At this time, the manager displays a list of installed plugins and gives you a button to obtain new... -

The Importance of Social Interaction on Software Projects
Have you ever played the “Telephone Game”? The way it works is simple. Line everyone up, and say a phrase to the first person. That person (and each person in turn) repeats that phrase from memory to the next person in line. When the last person gets the phrase, he/she compares it to the original phrase. Almost every time, what comes out the other end is fairly mangled. Take the same group of people, and have them form a circle. Stand in the middle of the circle, and say the same phrase. Now have each of the people repeat the ... -
